The Umidigi Uwatch is a fitness smartwatch for men and women. It’s an affordable smartwatch. I bought this watch for 9800 Naira in Jumia, Nigeria, in 2021. This watch is also available on Gearbest, Banggood, & Amazon.

Check below for the price list for Umidigi Uwatch.

Umidigi Uwatch is a budget-friendly alternative to other smartwatches on the market, and it offers several features that make it worth considering. I reviewed some of the key features of the Umidigi Uwatch and saw how it compares to other smartwatches.

One of the key features of the Umidigi Uwatch is its price. At just 9800 Naira in Jumia, Nigeria, last year, it is one of the most affordable smartwatches on the market. It is also one of the most feature-rich smartwatches in its price range. For example, it has a colour touch screen, heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, and fitness tracking. It also has several other features that make it a great choice for those on a budget.

The Umidigi Uwatch has good battery life. It has a 210mAh battery that can last up to 30 days on a single charge. This is impressive for a smartwatch, and you won’t have to worry about charging it daily like other smartwatches.

The Umidigi Uwatch is a great choice for those looking for an affordable, feature-rich smartwatch. It offers a great battery life and several other features that make it a great choice for those on a budget.

Verdict

The first thing you’ll notice about the Umidigi Uwatch is its design.

The Umidigi Uwatch has a lot going for it in the design department. It’s made entirely of metal, with a polished bezel and a soft-touch back. The watch is also remarkably thin, at just 9.8mm. And at 42mm in diameter, it’s the perfect size for most wrists. The only thing I don’t like about the design is the crown, which is too small and flimsy.

The next thing you’ll notice about the Umidigi Uwatch is its display.

The Umidigi Uwatch has a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 400×400. That works out to a pixel density of 286ppi, which is good for a smartwatch. The display is also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The Umidigi Uwatch has many features, including a heart rate monitor, a sleep tracker, a sedentary reminder, a step counter, a stopwatch, a timer, an alarm, a thermometer, and a barometer. That’s a lot of features for a smartwatch, and it’s one of the things that sets the Umidigi Uwatch apart from other smartwatches.
The heart rate monitor is not 100% accurate.

Unboxing

Opening the box, you get the Uwatch thank you card from Umidigi. You will notice the metal strap, & rubber strap, user manual, charging cord and an additional set of “pins” if you want to use another brand.
